<p>correlational study would not work because I said smoking CAUSES aggressive behavior.</p>
<p>Is there a cram sheet available?</p>
<p>spark chart maybe?</p>
<p>Yeah if anyone finds a cram sheet, please post it here. </p>
<p>Anyways, next question: (and I hate questions like these lol)</p>
<p>In Erik Erikson’s Psychosocial stage theory, what stage does one develop “personal control?”</p>
<p>Autonomy versus shame and doubt.</p>
<p>Hubel and Weisel won the Noble prize for their work on…</p>
<p>Their development and research on the visual system. Also, their work on how the brain decodes messages send from the eyes and visual system. </p>
<p>What is group polarization?</p>
<p>Groups of people tend make more bad decisions</p>
<p>Give me examples on rationalization,and reaction formation</p>
<p>Rationalization would be coming up with a good thing that comes out of a bad thing. Like deciding that because you lost your best friend, you can find someone better and that they weren’t so great anyway. And reaction formation would be expressing the opposite of your true feelings like saying you’ve always hated that friend.</p>
<p>Explain the the difference between conduction deafness and nerve deafness.</p>
<p>conduction deafness is an error getting to the cochlea, whereas nerve deafness occurs INSIDE the cochlea, with the hair thingies. </p>
<p>Steve gets angry whenever his psych teacher does not immediately call on him when he raises his hand. A psychologist would diagnose him with __________ personality disorder.</p>
<p>Not sure, but I think it’s histrionic personality disorder.</p>
<p>Name the different types of schizophrenia and provide a brief description.</p>
<p>Paranoid: preoccupation with hallucination
Disorganized: Disorganized speech…
Cataonic: negativism, and/or repeat other’s speech
Undifferentiated: ??
Residual: Withdrawal</p>
<p>What is kinesthesis?</p>
<p>Kinethesis - a sense of body. People (or at least sober people) are able to locate various parts of their body even when they can’t see them. This sense is tested in sobriety tests in which the individual must touch his or her fingers to the tip of his/her nose.</p>
<p>What are the three major theories in language acquisition, and who are the major psychologists associated with each one?</p>
<p>If you’re referring to the kinesthetic sense, it gives us information about how our specific body-parts are spatially oriented. The vestibular sense gives us information about how our body is spatially oriented as a whole.</p>
<p>So, HOW do the kinesthetic and vestibular senses work/function? Through what mechanisms, etc.</p>
<p>Wow. I know like 1/6 of the stuff on here. Am I completely screwed?</p>
<p>@zlyice - Behaviorists theorize that language is acquired through reinforcement, conditioning, imitation, and encouragement to speak. B.F. Skinner, I believe, is the major psychologist attached to this theory.</p>
<p>Cognitive theorists insist that language is learned without instruction by parents and is more defined by thought. And I don’t really know much more about this theory…^^;</p>
<p>Noam Chomsky, the proponent of this theory believed that children had a language acquisition device and can learn language best as children. This is the nativist theory of language acquistion. Chomsky also insisted that children have a critical period for learning language.</p>
<p>@SwaGGeR - The kinesthetic sense is controlled by receptors in the muscles which send back information to the brain. The vestibular sense is controlled by the position of fluids in your ear canals which causes sensors to move. Thus neurons are activated and the message of position is forwarded to the brain. </p>
<p>Ok, new question.</p>
<p>Name the four areas of the cerebral cortex and describe some functions of each.</p>
<p>In regards to my earlier question, I was actually going for narcissistic personality disorder.</p>
<p>I see, it was one or the other and I just threw out one of them. ^^</p>
<p>Hah so I just started reading Barrons again to review before the exam. </p>
<p>Here’s a question on something I just read:</p>
<p>What “p” value is considered the cutoff for statistically significant results?</p>
<p>Oh!!! it’s like… .05 or something, right? </p>
<p>A Cognitive Psychologist would say that a people after 911 were especially afraid of flying on airplanes because of the _______________.</p>
<p>Correct. </p>
<p>I think it’s one of the heuristics…maybe availability heuristic?</p>
